 So if they too young they under 25 and under they don't know I wrote want to be a baller They don't know I got two songs on Trey L. They don't know me That's the truth. They don't know me if I put out Didn't nobody know flip when I was fucking with flip flip came up to me and told me you my favorite rapper Yeah, I don't know they don't know that I took fat pat to the studio way back then Fat pat didn't even write he was just freestyle You feel me he was just freestyle. I took I told hawk. I say how you can get paid rapping hawk say man I just do it for fun. I told screw. I say look screw. You can start a label. You be the head me pat key Screw like man. I really ain't trying to start on label when I was a red shop I say man. I'm tired. Listen off the south. She I say Playman of switch house nigga tape I listen to the tape. I say who the nigga with the deep voice. They say that's little dub I said that's the nigga. I won't bring to the studio Yeah, we on boss talk one-on-one The thing I can say about you when I go back and look at the houston scene, man I had dj chose on here too and I was always asking them about the older generation and the newer generation You know, I mean in bridging that gap. So how is it, you know far as being from you from houston Looking back at what was and what is now? How do you feel like the music is doing? Uh, well first and foremost We had to force it like okay, I'm I'm not gonna sit here and act like Back in the day a choir and a feature was the easiest thing to do Like I mean it was people I reached out to try to pay They wouldn't even take the money just because of the music we was making we wasn't making I didn't came down pop my trunk. Yeah, typical Texas. Yeah, the music was Different the music I was making the same music. I'm making now 10 years ago, but Back then They would look at it like it was just some party music, which it was Jumping but I mean in the day. I just seen where the world was headed and it was ahead of its time Right and I also made the music they make but you got to understand like I'm not them and they're not me. So they can't make my music. I can't make them You feel me? I love the pocket. I'm in I try to stand my lane But back then I had to force my way Into being seen and respected, you know, I'm saying how do you think is or is there A come together. I seen kiki did something where he brought sauce on it But it's it how do you guys how do y'all link that the young and the older down there? See I I rock with everybody. I know see like for example when when when the sauce first came out They were trying to other people were trying to make a difference between the sauce as you see each other that But not me me and sauce walk will mean cool. You feel what I'm saying? So Now I'm saying I'm saying I'm from the boot you from the boot, but y'all you came Yeah, you right. Yeah. So yeah, but so Like me and beat came been done a song together way back then you feel no saying so many artists, you know, we You know, I did a song chose beat way back then you feel no saying yeah when they first started, right? So so My thing is it's like this if we in this room right now And a new young artist come in the room And he say What's up? What's up box out? What's up? What's up? What's up, bg? I'm the new nigga finna take over now My whole perception of him is totally different. You feel no saying But if he come in the room like hey, what's up y'all? What's up? I'm a new artist on so soon. So be looking out for my shit. I'm finna try to make some noise in the city That's a whole different way of respect. Yeah, you feel no saying And people be thinking you're supposed to just automatically respect people that don't respect you Because they don't be understanding the numbers saying we talk about the joy and the joy and the labyrinth out So if they if they too young, they under 25 and under They don't know I wrote want to be a baller. They don't know I got two songs on dragell. They don't know Me and slam put out the first one. That's the truth They don't know me if I put out Didn't nobody know flip when I was fucking with flip flip came up to me and told me you my favorite rapper Yeah, I don't know they don't know that I took fat pat to the studio way back then Fat pat didn't even write he was just freestyle You feel me he was just freestyle I took I told hawk I say how you can get paid rapping hawk say man, I just do it for fun I told screw I say look screw you can start a label. You be the head me pat key Screw like man, I really ain't trying to start on label when I was at red shop. I say man. I'm tired. Listen off the south She I say Playman them switch house nigga tape I listen to the tape. I say who the nigga with the divorce. They say that's them. I said that's the nigga I won't bring to the studio slim come over there. Bam. We do that Bam do another one Y'all niggas went down through there went down through that after that when me and slim one did our business We're gonna get 50,000 dollar 100,000 dollar checks. Was that after Pharrell or was that before Pharrell before Pharrell? Yeah, that's what that's what shot it that way. That's before that's before Pharrell and so so so We had a show in Dallas and I think slim was like man You know, that's before we did the project and he was he was a whole switch out. He was like, man It's about 12 on this show. Shit. Hey, it was like $2,000. We gotta bust that down He said man, I'm ready to do my home shit. So that's how we wound up doing that When we in the mall was in the business We bust we bust that down We bust that down right on top 50 50 You feel me? That's that's that's that's that's boss talk to me It wasn't no like oh i'ma take more for this because that's boss talk for me You feel me? Yeah, that's so we was in the same room with money Lipton Steve Rifkin, you know all these different people and I just they tried to give me a slim like a 23 million dollar deal Right after the cash, you know, right then the shit just didn't go down, right? But you know It did what it is sometimes you got to think about it, man You walking in purpose you really are you really doing what you're supposed to be doing, right? Really, we think we're doing something, but it's already written You know what I'm saying? That's the way I think man because a lot of time when the nigga could have been taken out I was in the right place at the right time Right, it wasn't at the wrong place and we lost a lot of good people. You just named them You named a bunch of them, man. Yeah, and that's the that's the game for me like, um when you uh When you think about it, man just Being from the legacy when you came from texas I mean from Louisiana over to texas man bobo just pulled up But when you when you came in like you did man at a young age And then now you embraced the whole houston thing man because a lot of time they gonna Thank you from houston because you didn't get a lot of work down there, right all the work down there, right? You feel me and I I always look at it like but you always keep it 100 Yeah, no matter what people say or what they do. I'm like a black sheep I'm the black sheep because see like when paint juices get painted on the walls and shit around The city you'll see It used to be everybody except me a lot you know a lot of times She feels that so I just used to look at it in the lab Because my resume my history speak for itself and the artist and the different the artist.
